To see how online shopping websites stack up, we asked our readers about their experiences at 52 of the nation's largest shopping websites. We also checked out many of the websites to see what distinguishes great shopping sites from mediocre ones, and what you should expect when shopping online. Overall, shopping websites received high marks. Once you've shopped, you should be able to see what you've chosen and check out with little hassle. At some shopping websites, even if you don't create an account, the site places cookies on your computer so that items you select remain in your shopping cart if you leave and return. Plus you can see the total cost without having to check out.
